I don't put motorists in the same analogy as "terrorists", and I use a bar end mirror as well as two video cameras. If anything, the bar end mirror and video cameras have made bicycling, for me personally, far more enjoyable and less frustrating when working urban traffic. The videoing of my rides has evolved to become much more than for collecting evidence, it's become a chronological record of the ever changing urban landscape in my locale.
